I agree. The COL in Costa Rica is higher than most parts of the USA. If I had my choice, I'd retire in Matagalpa, Nicaragua or Havana, Cuba.
This summer I'll be in southern Brazil for the World Cup. While there, I'm going to check out Uruguay.
Hi BTravlin, I really liked a lot of things about Mexico and also found it to be cheaper to live there than the USA for most things (especially at 13 pesos to the dollar!). I think it is a good match for a lot of retirees because it is so close to the USA and there are many Americans already there. One of my favorite memories is going out for my regular breakfast of Chorizo and eggs, beans, tortillas and coffee several times per week . . . Yummy!DW and I moved to Mexico 6 months ago and love it so far. Cost of living is definitely cheaper overall but electricity is very high cost. We do give up a lot of the conveniences found in the States but the better weather and slower pace of life is worth the trade-off.

May I ask where you have ended up settling in Mexico?
Hi Galeno, Are you seriously considering leaving Costa Rica (someday)?
Bring your sweater. That is midwinter down there.I agree. The COL in Costa Rica is higher than most parts of the USA. If I had my choice, I'd retire in Matagalpa, Nicaragua or Havana, Cuba. This summer I'll be in southern Brazil for the World Cup. While there, I'm going to check out Uruguay.
